The statement given to the press by Governor Tillman con cerning his recent efforts to re fund the State debtin New York, is published in this issue. The refunding of the State debt is a very important matter and every Carolinian should regret that the Governor’s recent visit to New York accomplished noth ing in that direction, for it must be confessed that his mis sion was barren of fruitful re suits. The Governor gives a number of reasons why he did not suc ceed. He states that the hold ers of the fraudulent bonds, which the State has repudiated, interfered in hopes of having their claims recognized and adds “but never a cent by my advice or approval will go to pay the fraudulent debt.” The Governor is right in refusing to advise the payment of the fraud ulent debt; in this all will agree v ith him, but the action of the holders of the fraudulent bonds should not have prevented him from accomplishing his purpose Other States in the South have repudiated their fraudulent bonds and have since been able to refund their honest debts. The Governor assigns as an other reason the uncertainty a 1 out the election. Republican success and the passage of the ferce bill would keep capital away from the South. This is true and it should serve as a warning to those of the Govern or’s followers who contemplate joining the Third party. A remarkable man is our Governor forhillucinations. He can never rid his mind of the belief in the existence of intri gues, conspiracies and like hor rible things for the thwarting of him and for the ruin of the State. It is strange that so many ghosts should disturb him and always at a time, too, when he fails of an object. The Gov ernor says there is a “conspira cy” among some of our people to prevent him from refunding the debt, but none will believe that this horrible conspiracy exists. The Governor will not be able to prove it to our satis faction for it is nothing but old Rancho’s ghost at him again. The existence of conspiracies in the State was never heard of until Governor Tillman under took to direct our public affairs. He assigns other reasons of no more merit. He gives a long enumeration and omits the most important. He neglects to tell the people that his course on the hustings and as Governor was the most potential reason for his failure. He and his ad ministration have made incess ant war upon capital and Wall Street, yet he goes to Wall Street expecting the capitalists to invest their money in his government. Capital is very sensitive and we cannot make savage war upon it and then ex pect it to do our bidding. We cannot drive capital away and call it back at will, but this is what Governor Tillman seems to think. South Carolina at best cannot offer as many ad vantages to capital as other Southern States—Georgia, Ala bama, Tennessee and Texas for example—and our government should offer it every inducement instead of driving it away as the Tillman administration is doing. Capital should be at tracted. not repelled. The course of the “dominant element” has obstructed the refunding of the State debt and during the recent campaign the Con servatives warned the Tillman- ites against it. However, let us hope for the best. We sincerely trust that the Governor will succeed in his future efforts to refund the debt, not for Tillman’s sake, hut for the sake of our mother State. ] lowing. Most, if not all, of those who have announced their Third partyism participated in the re cent Democratic primary and | gave their pledge that they were ! Democrats. How they can now reconcile their desertion of the party to their previous oath of allegiance is something be yond our comprehension. COLUMBUS' DUST, DIDLOtIS USE PAINT? An Offer to Sell the Discover’* Remain* to Our Government. Washington, Oct. 13.—A i somewhat startling story is told by one of the World’s Fair com missioners, who, during a re- ! cent visit to the state depart ment, learned that the remains , of Christopher Columbus were offered to the United States as security for a loan of $100,000 at 0 per cent, interest. The offer had recently been made with ; due formality by President Huereaux of San Domingo. President Heureaux’s thrift nas i been exemplified in several ne- 1 gotations with the authorities I at Washington, but it was not until the proposition was made to hypothecate the sacred re mains of the great navigator for a cash consideration that the full extent of this thrift was ap preciated. Although the propo sition of President Heureax was that the remains should be taken in security for the loan, it is the general belief of the officials here that this was mere ly a delicate way of proposing an absolute sale. This view was strengthened by the fact that no time was mentioned for the paying of the loan. It was simply that the $100,000 should be placed in the hands of Presi dent Heureaux ;that he in turn should have the relics taken from their resting place, boxed and shipped and that the inter est on #100,000 thereafter be regularly pmd by him. The proposition was rejected, as the department authorities in Wash ington have no right to make purchase of relics, no matter how valuble they may be. "THE LIVING DOLL.” — THE LATEST MANIFESTO. The Third party people of South Carolina have issued their manifesto. Presidential electors have been nominated and the voters of the State have been urged to support Weaver and Fields. The appearance of the manifesto causes no excitement in the political world, for South Ca rolina Democrats have noth ing to fear from the mere hand ful that compose the Third party in this State—a few mal contents who never were lead- •rs and never will have fol The Smallest Child in Philadelphia and Probably in America. [Philadelphia Press,] The smallest child in Phila delphia, Katie Campbell Bryan, celebrated her first anniversary last evening. Katie is the youngest of four children of L C. Bryan, who resides at 4,965 Girard Avenue, West Philadel phia. When the little midget was born, a year ago, the phy sician had very little hopes of her living, she was so small, being a trifle less than four inches long. She could be put into a pint measure, and when ten days old she weighed one and three-quarter pounds. At five months old her weight had increased to but three and a half pounds. During the last six months she has grown some what faster, and last night weighed eleven pounds scant. This small child is as helpless as a baby of five months. She has no teeth and cannot sit alone, but is pretty and bright, having large blue eyes, with light curly nair. She is at pres ent in very good health and bids fair to grow to womanhood. The clothes worn by the little midget are the same as those worn by a good-sized doll baby, her shoes bein 21 inches long. She is known in the neighbor hood as the living doll. Her mother and father are both me dium sized people, and so are her brothers and sisters. NO TELEGRAPH POLES. For Religious Reason* the Wires are Underground in China. [Exchange.] There are no telegraph poles in China. Not because there are no telegraph lines, nor yet because there is not wood suita ble for use as poles. Strangely enough, the reason is purely religious, says the St. Louis Qltibe-Democrat. The Chinese worship their fathers and grandfathers, and regard the resting places of their remainssosacred that they deem it a sacrilege to allow a shadow to be cast upon their graves. When the linemen of the first Chinese telegraph com panies began operations they were greatly embarassed in their operations by crowds of in habitants, who followed them about and, with the most fright ful blosphemies, cut down the poles almost as fast as they were erected. For some time no explanation could be obtained, but at last the working parties discovered that in the more thickly settled districts of the Celestial Empire graves were everywhere to be found, and scarcely a pole could be erected anywhere but that at some time of the day it cast its shadow on a grave.’ The diffi culty was insuperable, and the Chinese Government, anxious as it was to render assistence, stood powerless. So all the wires went under ground, and I it is said the system proved per fectly efficient. Treasury deparlmeiit statistics for tae ! year ended with Jnue 30, 1892. showed i that onr country exported nearly three : times as much wheat as it did during the previous year—in round numbers 150,000,000 bushels in place of 50,000,000. A child born at Wancoma, la., on the ! 18th of September has a smooth, round 1 hole in its buck near where the points of the shoulder blade* come together, | through which the action df the lungs j can be plainly observed. ZOLA’S CHARGE THAT NAPOLEON PAINTED HIS FACE. Tli® NovelUt Saya the Emperor Mad® Ua® of Roug® at the Battle of Medan—The Statement Contradicted by Eminent Au thority—Bid He Turn Green? On the declaration of war against Prussia, both MM. de Cassagnac and Mitchell threw down their pens for the sword, and enrolled themselves as vol- unteers in the First zouaves. Both were i>ersonally known to the Emperor Napoleon III, who saw them almost every day, and now these two distin guished authorities have come forward to traverse the inference suggested by M. Emile Zola in "La Debacle” that Nai>oleon III at Sedan had resorted [p a cosmetic to impart unnatural rosiness to his complexion. M. Zola describes the emperor as having glowing cheeks, and adds, “Assuredly ho had his face paint ed.” M. de C tssagnac has emphatically stated that during his close association with Napoleon before the battle he never noticed a trace of paint on the imperial countenance, and in this denial he is corroborated by M. Robert Mitch ell, who declares his certainty that the then ruler of ' he French people used no pigment wha oever during the opera tions leading to the capitulation of Sedan. The question, although intrinsically unimportant, is very curious, inasmuch as this is not the first time that the change of complexion of the son of Queen Hortense has been made a mat ter of public discussion. The anony mous writer of that most entertaining medley, “The Englishman in Paris,” who first met Prince Louis Napoleon at the Hotel du Rhin, Paris, in 1848, has plenty to say about the personal appear ance of the then pretender to the French throne. He describes his heavy brown mustache, his thin lank hair, his aqui line nose and grayish blue eyes and the general impression which the features of the pringe gave him of being a ha bitual opium eater; and opium eaters are assuredly not r.s a rule persons (ft a rud dy tint. Provokingly enough the Eng lishman has nothing to say touching the prince’s complexion at this stage of his career. The late Mr. Kinglake has, on the other hand, a great deal to state touch ing the facial cue of the third Napoleon. In his prologue to the history of the Crimean war the writer describes the emperor as apt, on days of great peril, to turn facially green, and on this cir- cnmstance he bounded the opinion that the emperor, citherat-the period of the coup d'etat or on subsequent occasions as momentous did not, so far as could be judged fror i his appearance, suggest the conclusion that he was a man of ex ceptional com age. It is said, indeed, that when N.ipoleon III read the first volume of Mr. Kinglake’s history he observed with a smile to one of his con fidants, “This," pointing to the sea green passage, "muf t have l>een written by a woman,” and : nti-English French jour nalists of the period did not scruple to insinuate that Mr. Kinglake's strictures on the personal appearance of the em peror were due to the inspiration of an Egeria well known in Parisian society, who hated the third emperor as bitterly as the first one had been detested by Mme. De Stael. The authority, however, of the histo rian of the Crimean war was naturally so highly valued in England that the story of the emperor turning green on days of battle or revolution obtained universal credence, and to some extent it was used to bolster up the absurd ac cusation of personal cowardice which the ultra republicans constantly brought against their imperial foe. It remained for an illustrious English surgeon, not long deceased, to point out the indubita ble verity that a man has no command over his blood, although by the exercise of his will he has every command over his mnscles. Meanwhile it must bo frankly admitted that in circumstances of emergency the features of Napoleon III did assume v peculiar hue. The color v is certainly not ruddy, nor was it sw; rthy or sallow; it was a curious leaden gray. But that such a leaden gray hn I nothing to do with the emperor’s capacity for incurring danger without wavering there is on record first the observation of the distinguished Eng lish medical man to whom allusion has been made, and next to the personal tes timony—not by any means exclusively that of MM. d>' Cassagnac and Mitchell —of people who bad constantly been close to the emperor, and who had ob served bis physical mien from the early stages of his career to its mournful and inglorions close. He was undoubtedly sis brave as his unde, the Great Napo leon, who, by the way, was frequently accnsed in the English press of being an abject coward. The harum scarum adventure of Stras- burg aud the madcap escapade at Bou logne showed that poltroonery was not among his sho- tcomings, and althongh Mr. Kinglake would have us believe Napoleon III turned green at Solferino and Magenta, t here Is plenty of evidence from eye witresses who were near to the emperor throughout those moment ous battles to show that whatever tint the face of the emperor took, it was cer tainly not a verdant one. As to Sedan there is the further testimony of Princess Mathilde, who declare* that she never told any one that the emperor was in the habit of uting cosmetics. Since the appearance of M. Zola’s statement she has questioned persons who were at the battle and they all assert that "the leg end is absolutely false.” The princess adds, "I canm t believe that, even with a good Intention, he could have em ployed that actor's trick nnder such grave circumstance*.”—London Tele graph. An OHtrlrh Amazes Africans. News has just reached Liverpool of the arrival at Sierra Leone, west Africa, of a remarkable specimen of the ostrich tribe, which the people of that colony have seen for the first time. The ostrich, which is ten feet high, has come from central Africa, and walked a distance of at least 600 miles to the British colony. The bird was sent by the great Moham medan chief, Alimamy Samadou, to Mr. Alfred L. Jones, of Liverpool, who has the coaling establishment at Sierra Leone. It came down with a caravan of the Alimamy's headmen and traders, who arrived in the British settlement with their produce, ivory, gold, etc. It is a most unusual circumstance for an ostrich to be found in central Africa, and when it reached Sierra Leone the whole populate n turned out to see it. The traffic of ihe streets was stopped, and the governor had to send a special company of native police to escort it to the Sierra Leone Coaling company's premises. As tne Alimamy Samadon is a great Mohammedan, it is thought that the bird may be regarded in some re ligious connect >n. Knowing the treat reverence the Ali mamy has for «. -ueen Victoria and the English peopb , it is the intention of Mr. Jonea to offer the bird to her maj esty as a presen from the great Mahom- m dan chief. The ostrich, tt is said, will bo sent over by the next African steamer to Lit erpool.—London Stand- *rsl THE ABUSE OF HYPNOTISM. QuacU* and Cl’uilattir.* YViio Make Ut>e mt It to Gull the Pnbllc. While the beueli^ from hypnotism thns far have l>eeu few and smell, the evils have Istu many and great. Its sleeplike slate is not a normal sleep, bringing health and strength to the slumberer, but a morbid condition bor dering npon disease. It irritate* the en tire nervous organization and tempora rily if not organically weakens the sys tem. This drawback is serious enough. Darker and more terrible effects lie in the suppreseiou of the object's will for the time being, and the substitution therefor of the operator’s. In this re gard it opens avenues to crime and crimi nals such us has never been equaled heretofore. Already so many discredit able actions, not to use a stronger word, have been committed in Europe by means of hypnotism that in Italy, Aus- tro-Hungary, parts of Switzerland, Co penhagen and other municipalities laws have been enacted prohibiting its pnblic practice by any except physicians. So, on the other hand, the police, without any statnte on the subject, have treated traveling mesmerists as disorderly char acters. Thus Donato was expelled from Italy, and Hansen, another hypnotist, from Austria, was notified never to re turn under penalty of arrest, fine and imprisonment. This Donato (whose real name, by the way, is Dhont) hypnotized an Italian ar tillery officer, who immediately became half crazy. From time to time he would go into somnambulism at ms sight of a j bright object. He would follow carriage lamps, and unless prevented would walk toward locomotive or steamer light*. An architectural student was mesmer- i ized by staring at bis compasses, after j which it was impossible for him to draw without going to sleep. A young girl of Milan, of beauty and character, was hypnotized aud impressed with the notion that she was married 'o a man she had never seen but once, and then in the darkness. She went crazy and died in a hospital. Another young girl (of Paris, this time) was put under a similar spell and was ruined. She finally entered the Saltpetriere hospital, where, after a long and painful remedy, what was left of her former self was pronounced cured. In New York a hypnotized person was made to believe that he had taken slow poison. He fell sick and wasted away to a shadow. Not until the attending physician discovered the true nature of the hallucination and rehypnotized the subject was there any symptom of con valescence. In Turin, at a series of hypnotic lec tures and public exiierim.nts, a large proportion of those who attended were taken sick with headache, insomnia and other nervous ailments. A few of those who were of a hysterical temperament remained ill for a long time. In the foregoing cases the hypnotizing was done with no evil intent, but there are hundreds of recorded instances where it was done with intent of evil.—Phila delphia Times. It Worked to IVrfrction. Two young women stood by the cash ier's window the other day. One was au ambitious writer of verse whose effusions had been persistently rejected by stony editors, and the other was a teacher out of a position and sorely in debt. They were engaged, just then, in commiserat ing eqch other, when suddenly a little brown dwarf with a hump and a mourn fully patient face pushed her way up to the paying place. “My dear girl, now's your everlasting chance,” whispered the poetess excitedly. “Get right up be hind her, where she can’t see yon, and touch her hump. Then I'll follow suit. It’s bound to bring us good luck; better than a rabbit's foot; never knew it to fail.” "What nonsense! 1 won't be such a goose!” demurred the teacher girl. “But go ahead yourself,” aud she stood aside for the other to get into a secure posi tion; the whole charm depending of course upon doing it unknown to the humpbacked one. It is only necessary to add that the ex periment was entirely successful, and that fhe poetess went straight borne and wrote "Loving and Losing,” which she sold today for—but that is another story, I can’t tell it.—New York Recorder. A rrcclow trxkttj. A certain young woman of thia town who dote* on cat* waa mad* the happy po**e**or not leng ago of A cat which waa rescued from a ainking veaael in midocean. Bailors have a superstition that a cat rescued at sea becomes a mas cot. This particular cat waa the last living creature to leave the foundered bark Alumbagh, from which the life boat of the steamship La Champagne took off sixteen men on the morning ef Aug. 28. There waa great competition among the passengers on La Champagne to obtain the cat, bnt a gentleman with a persuasive tongue and a long puree, who knew of the aforementioned young woman’s hobby, secured the animal and presented it to her.—New York Time*. Rio- Ra liars Chestnut* Are Plentiful. Chestnuts ought to be cheap this year, for they are abundant, and never were finer or larger. At present they cost seven dollars a bushel in New York. The chestnut tree thrives best by the roadside or at the edge of clearings— not so well In thick woods—and its fruit is therefore easy to find. In Sussex county, N. J., the trees are hardly seen, except on a narrow slate ridge, half a mils wide, that runs for some miles near ly east and west.—New York Letter. How It Happened. We violate no cmfidence when we say that as a work of art the discovery celebration invitation sent out by the city of New York knocks the spots clean out of the invitation sent out by the city of Chisago. We account for this only upon the hypothesis that a Chicago man must have got up the New York invita tion and a New York man must have :ot up the Chicago invitation.—Chicago ’ews-Record. s Eating Rats. We have tasted the rats that have run riot in isolated wheat ricks, and we can conscientiously aver that they are both both sweet and succulent. Their flesh is white as that of a sweetbread, and has unquestionably more flavor. We understand that field mice are still more delicate, and considering the simple and wholesome habits of their virtuous lives, we can well believe it The “English man in Paris” speaks of a salmi served soon after the beginning of the seige of the commune, and the very memory of it seems to have made his month water. Yet the town mice scarcely gave the ex periment a fair trial, for they had been snared on the bastions between the enter boulevards and the fortifications.—Lon don Saturday Review. Jade Head in an Ancient French Grave. In an ancient grave at Gignac (Her ault) M. de Lepouge has found a finely carved human head of jade, represent ing a type of the great yellow skinned race or races. It is religious in charac ter, and is evidently from China or Japan. M. Sindho regards it as a Japa nese work made from a Hindoo or Singha lese model of Buddha, a little before the Christian era, while M. de Millone con aiders it a head of Kouan Yin. a Chinese deity, and M. de Rosny thinks it a head of Mayadevi, mother of Guatama, the founder of Buddhism. It is supposed to have been worn as an amulet arouud the neck of a Hu much or Gothic chief. The graves at Gignac are probably those of a settlement of the West Goths.—Lon don Ciobe. “Doing" Europe. "Tourists do say funny things yet,” said a young woman just home from Europe, “though I feared I shouldn't ' hear any of them. Two women were standing before a tapestry in a church, and as I approached one of them said to the other? ‘Got your notebook, Hannah? | Put down (consulting her catalogue) ‘tapestry of St. Agnes;” ’ then, studying the picture before her, she summed it up: ‘Girl on a t>ench, sheep in the fore ground,’ aud the two moved on without a second look.”—New York Times. Cabs In London. Statistics recently compiled in Lon don show that the number of cabs, both four wheeled and hansom cabs, is di minishing. This is probably due to the extension of street car routes and demo cratic ideas. During the last twelve months there were 8,089 four wheeled cabs licensed, as against 8,931 the year previous. There are over 7,000 hansoms in the city, but their number is also di minishing, though not so rapidly.—Lon don Letter. Overjoyed.
